How can I zoom a PTZ camera to a place by selecting the place from another camera's view?
I have 2 cameras. One a simple network camera and a PTZ camera. The simple one is statically located and constantly taking pictures of the same view. I screen the captured view by the simple camera. I try to zoom PTZ to a place I clicked on that screen. There are different challenges for this problem. The most catchy 2 of them are;
- PTZ should know, what level of zoom is required for the clicked place. Too much zoom might lose the view and too low be to coarse.
- PTZ should know how much and in what direction it should move to take the region of interest in its scope.
For these two challenges what should I do? Do you have any suggestions, references or pointers in mind? Any comment is welcome.
Addition1 : As far as I learned from WEB, this problem is called slew to cue.
never change the zoom after a calibration, else you invalidate it.
@berak there is no calibration for PTZ but the static camera. I try to click on a place on the view of that static camera and move the PTZ to that place by a correct level of tilt and zoom level.
apologies, misread it
